TPH Global – A Leader in Film Production Accounting
TPH Global is an innovative tech company specializing in creating comprehensive solutions for film production accounting. The client is developing a product that enables the complete financial management of film production, covering everything from crew payroll to production costs. With solid industry experience, TPH Global aimed to create a tool that automates financial processes, allowing producers to focus on the creative aspects of their work.
Primary Objective – Improving Application Quality and Performance
As part of the Hollywood Budgets project, TPH Global approached us with an urgent need to improve the quality of the code in their existing application, which had been developed by another team. Our primary objective was to eliminate numerous bugs and enhance the application’s performance, enabling the addition of new functionalities. The business goals of the project included adding a solution to the client’s product portfolio that combines planning and cost-tracking functionalities during film production accounting. This was the first step towards creating a modern tool that would streamline financial management for all production professionals, from independent filmmakers to established studios.
Challenges – Rebuilding the Application and Enhancing Performance
The key challenges we faced included the poor quality of the inherited code and the need to collaborate with a client in a different time zone, which complicated daily communication. Our team, consisting of one full-time developer and two supporting specialists, had to rewrite significant portions of the application from scratch. The work involved fixing existing bugs, improving the application’s performance, and implementing a cost-tracking overlay.
We utilized the latest technologies to meet these challenges. The frontend and backend of the application were built on Next.js 14 with AG Grid, while the infrastructure was constructed using AWS services, including AWS Cognito, S3, SSM, and RDS with PostgreSQL. The entire application operates on a serverless architecture, which increased its scalability and efficiency.
Initial Results – Enhanced Performance and Positive Client Feedback
Although the application is still in the Proof of Concept phase and has not been released to a wider audience, we are already seeing significant improvements in its performance. The enhancements in performance and code stability have allowed for smoother integration of new functionalities, which has been met with positive feedback from the client. While the product is not yet used by real clients, testing among a selected group of users (friends and family) suggests we are on the right track.
A Solid Foundation for Future Development
TPH Global is an example of a company that has embraced innovation and was not afraid to invest in improving their product. Our collaboration demonstrated that even under challenging conditions—time constraints, budget limitations, and technical hurdles—it is possible to deliver valuable solutions that provide a solid foundation for further development. The Hollywood Budgets Pty Ltd project, though still in its early stages, already shows its potential as a modern tool for managing film production costs, user-friendly for both independent filmmakers and established studios.
